Fight Game Podcast Drops Double Preview Episode Covering Night of Champions and Forbidden Door

With two of the summer’s biggest pro wrestling events looming on the calendar, a new episode of the Fight Game podcast has arrived to break down what’s on the horizon. Host Dave Meltzer is joined by John LaRocca for a wide-ranging discussion that covers the most pressing topics in wrestling heading into both WWE’s Night of Champions and the AEW/NJPW co-promoted Forbidden Door.

The episode follows the show’s familiar format, with the hosts dispensing their thumbs up and thumbs down verdicts before diving into the major talking points surrounding both events. Night of Champions serves as one of WWE’s premium live events on the international calendar, while Forbidden Door has become an annual highlight for fans of cross-promotional wrestling, bringing together the rosters of AEW and New Japan Pro-Wrestling for a card that typically features talent rarely seen on the same show.

With both events generating significant buzz in the wrestling community, the timing of a joint preview makes sense — the two shows fall close enough together on the schedule that building excitement for one naturally bleeds into conversation about the other. For fans trying to get a handle on expectations, storyline stakes, and match quality projections heading into both events, the episode offers a dedicated look at what’s coming.

The full video version of the episode is also available alongside the audio for those who prefer the visual format.
